Privacy policy
This policy covers therhymegame.xyz, an independent player guide unaffiliated with Create Rhythm LLC. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions or requests about a message you sent us.
Third parties and when they load
| Vendor | Purpose and domains | Loading and controls | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 · G-62YP7DT694 | Visit measurement; googletagmanager.com loads the tag and google-analytics.com receives measurement requests | Default loading. Reject disables the loader; Accept enables it again. | Site implementation + 1 provider source |
| Microsoft Clarity · zd1ddlr4r7 | Session recordings and heatmaps; clarity.ms and Microsoft services such as bing.com may receive requests | Default loading. Reject disables the loader. | Site implementation + 1 provider source |
| Adsterra · publisher 3403020 | Native Banner and Social Bar advertising; both tags start at bicea.org and can request further ad delivery domains | Default loading. Reject disables both ad tags. Hide ad bar separately disables the Social Bar. | Site implementation + 1 provider source |
| YouTube / Google | Video playback; youtube-nocookie.com player and YouTube media delivery domains | Only loads when you press Play; the preview image is hosted on this site. | Site implementation + 1 provider source |
Default loading means these vendors can receive your IP address, browser and device details, referring page and activity needed for their service before you interact with the banner. Advertising vendors may also use cookies or device information for measurement, fraud prevention, frequency limits and ad selection. A later Reject cannot undo a request already sent.
Storage and retention
| Name | Storage and purpose | Duration | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| trg_consent | Local storage: Accept or Reject, plus an expiry timestamp | 180 days from your choice | Site implementation |
| trg_ads_bar_closed | Local storage: remember Hide ad bar | 180 days from closing the bar | Site implementation |
| _ga and _ga_ | First-party Google Analytics cookies for browser and session measurement | Google documents a default cookie expiry of 2 years, refreshed on visits; browser limits may shorten it | 1 provider source: Google |
| _clck, _clsk | First-party Clarity identifiers linking visits and session recordings | Controlled by Microsoft; a site-specific duration is not established here | 1 provider source: Microsoft |
| CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID, SM | Microsoft documents these third-party cookies for Clarity-related identification and synchronisation | Controlled by Microsoft and browser settings | 1 provider source: Microsoft |
| Adsterra delivery cookies | Third-party identifiers used by the ad delivery chain; names can vary by creative and partner | Adsterra states purpose-based retention; it does not establish one fixed duration for every ad cookie | 1 provider source: Adsterra |
Vendor cookie expiry and server-side data retention are different. This guide does not publish an unverified GA4 property retention setting or a universal duration for advertising partners. Existing third-party storage is managed by the vendor and your browser; this site does not clear your browser-wide cookies.
Your choice
With no saved choice, optional analytics, recording and advertising scripts load, and the banner appears. Accept saves permission for 180 days. Reject saves refusal for 180 days, sends denied consent signals and immediately reloads the page so scripts, ad frames and timers from the previous page stop. The replacement page suppresses all three vendor loaders. Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the banner and change your choice.
The Google Consent Mode default sets ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization to denied and analytics_storage to granted before analytics is configured. Ad data redaction is enabled. The choice then updates these settings. A Global Privacy Control signal or Do Not Track value of 1 is treated as Reject. These controls affect this guide; vendor privacy policies also govern their processing and international transfers.
Video requests
A video facade uses an image hosted here. Pressing Play creates a www.youtube-nocookie.com iframe and allows YouTube and its media delivery services to receive your request. Reject does not prevent a later deliberate Play click. YouTube controls its player storage and retention under Google’s privacy policy.
Contact and requests
For access, correction or deletion requests concerning correspondence with this guide, email the contact address and identify the message or page concerned. For data held by a vendor, use that vendor’s privacy controls. Google also offers an Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You may contact your local data-protection authority where applicable.
Sources and review method
The table separates observations of this site’s implementation from each supplier’s own documentation; multiple pages from the same supplier count as one provider source. Limitation: vendor-controlled cookies, delivery partners and retention can change, so the policy describes their documented behaviour rather than guaranteeing a fixed cookie list for every visit.
Questions people ask
How do I stop analytics and advertising?
Press Reject in the banner, or open Cookie settings in the footer and press Reject. The page reloads to stop scripts that have already started. Your choice lasts 180 days.
Does Reject remove cookies already stored by vendors?
Reject stops further optional script loading on this site. Existing vendor cookies may remain until they expire or you remove them with your browser’s site-data controls.
Does a video load before I press Play?
The video image is hosted on this site. A YouTube player is created only after you press Play.
